What to do if ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter shows E-b/ Err 36?
If your ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter displays the error message E-b/ Err 36, it means the battery power is too low for the meter to operate. Replace or charge the batteries before conducting the test.
Why does ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter show significantly different measurements?
Significant fluctuations between measurements on your ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter can occur due to several reasons: * Using old or expired test strips. * Obtaining blood samples from different sites each time. * Waiting too long to insert the test strip into the device. * Contaminated blood samples (e.g., the pricked site is not clean). To resolve this: * Use new strips within the expiry date, as expired strips may malfunction due to improper storage. * Obtain blood samples from the same site. * Insert the test strip as soon as you collect the blood sample. * Wash your hands before testing.
What to do if ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter results are higher than expected?
Higher than expected results on your ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter can be caused by: * Excess plasma in the blood sample due to excessively squeezing of the fingertip. * Expired test strip or the strip being affected by temperature and humidity. * Certain health conditions or interference factors. To address this: * Repeat the test, avoiding excessive squeezing of the pricked site. It is recommended to wipe off the first drop of blood and use the second. * Open a new vial and use new strips to repeat the test. * Consult your doctor to ensure your health status is suitable for measuring blood glucose without any interference from medications, insulin dosage, HCT level, or dietary factors.
What to do if ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter shows error E-U/ Err 24?
If your ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter displays the error message E-U/ Err 24, it could be due to the insertion of a used test strip or inserting the blood sample before the blood drop symbol appears. Repeat the test with a new test strip, wait for the “blood drop” symbol to blink, and then retest using a proper amount of blood.
What to do if ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter displays error message E-F?
If your ForaCare Blood Glucose Meter shows error message E-F, it means the strip was removed too soon after applying blood, not allowing enough time for absorption. Repeat the test with a new test strip and wait for the result.
